Ahead of US talks, FM Sa’ar says Israel eager for ‘peace and normalization’ with Lebanon

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar says the country is seeking “peace and normalization” with Lebanon, ahead of talks between officials from both nations in Washington today.

“We want to reach peace and normalization with the state of Lebanon… Israel and Lebanon don’t have any major disputes between them. The problem is Hezbollah,” Sa’ar says at a press conference.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to attend the meeting between Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter and his Lebanese counterpart, Nada Hamadeh Moawad, at 11 a.m. (6 p.m. in Israel).
